Price: $20.00
Hardcover. Reprint. Contemporary owner's name on front fly, pages age-toned, dampstain on top edge on rear board, good only in a good only price-clipped dustwrapper with corresponding dampstain, small chips and tears on spine ends and corners. The first of five *Hubin*-listed mysteries by Clarke, basis for the film *Born Reckless*, directed by John Ford and Andrew Bennison, and featuring Edmund Lowe as a not-particularly-convincing Italian-American gangster. Both John Wayne and Randolph Scott also have small, uncredited parts.
